Six Days on the Road

by Dave Dudley

v.1
Well I pulled outta Pittsburg rollin' down that eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up an' she's runnin' like never before
There's a speed zone ahead, but alright, I don't see a cop in sight
Sic days on the road an' I'm a-gonna make it home tonight

v.2
I got my ten forward gears an' a Georgia overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills an' my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy an' a White, I been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road an' I'm a-gonna make it home tonight

v.3
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby good-bye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some other guys
I can find one to hold me tight, but I can never make-believe it's alright
Six days on the road an' I'm a-gonna make it home tonight

v.4
ICC is a-checkin' on down the line
I'm a little overweight an' my logbooks way behind
But nothin' bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road an' I'm a-gonna make it home tonight

v.5
Yeah my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from her stack an' smoke's a blowin' black as coal
My hometown's a-comin' in sight, if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road an' I'm a-gonna make it home tonight
